Accessing the Device 29
2. Plug the male end of the RJ-45 CAT5 serial cable into the Console port on the
SSG 140. (Be sure that the other end of the CAT5 cable is inserted properly and
secured in the DB-9 adapter.)
3. Launch a serial terminal-emulation program on your workstation. The required
settings for the console session are:
Baud rate: 9600
Parity: None
Data bits: 8
Stop bit: 1
Flow Control: None
4. If you have not yet changed the default login for the admin name and
password, enter
netscreen at both the login and password prompts. (Use
lowercase letters only. The login and password fields are both case-sensitive.)
For information on how to configure the device with the CLI commands, refer
to the Concepts & Examples ScreenOS Reference Guide.
5. (Optional) By default, the console times out and terminates automatically after
10 minutes of idle time. To remove the timeout, enter
set console timeout 0.
Using the WebUI
To use the WebUI, the workstation from which you are managing the device must
initially be on the same subnetwork as the device. To access the device with the
WebUI, perform the following steps:
1. Connect your workstation to the 0/0 port (ethernet 0/0 interface in the Trust
zone) on the device.
2. Ensure that your workstation is configured for Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) or is statically configured with an IP address in the
192.168.1.0/24 subnet.
3. Launch your browser, enter the IP address for the ethernet0/0 interface (the
default IP address is 192.168.1.1/24), then press Enter.
NOTE: When the device is accessed through the WebUI the first time, the Initial
Configuration Wizard (ICW) appears. If you decide to use the ICW to configure
your device, see “Initial Configuration Wizard” on page 55.
